Looking for BigLaw or boutique firms in CA with robust tax-exempt organizations practices, 501(c)(3)/(c)(4) structuring, compliance, charitable giving, nonprofit governance, that kind of stuff. Any names worth knowing?

I've started a new job position I don't plan to be in for more than 4-5 months since I'm continuing school in the fall. They offer both a Roth and regular 401k with a 3% match. I currently have ~50k in my Roth IRA and ~100k in regular brokerage. My question is: given my currently low income bracket (and hence can withdraw from my regular brokerage without too high of a tax burden), and the Roth 401k to Roth IRA rollover seems like a terrific way to increase my Roth IRA balance, are there downsides to contributing an absurdly high percentage of my income to my Roth 401k (like 80% or something)? The idea is that I'd roll it over to my Roth IRA after leaving the job and subsist on my regular brokerage+leftover salary. For context, I'm 23 and am willing to make lifestyle sacrifices to get my Roth IRA as fat as possible. TIA.

I recently dealt with an eBay scam and wanted to share my experience and get some reassurance.

I sold an item and the buyer's account turned out to be hacked by a fraudster. They filed a payment dispute and requested a redelivery to a different address. eBay notified me that the account was compromised, I filed a USPIS report, informed the local police, challenged the dispute, and ultimately intercepted the package at the local post office before it could be delivered to the scammer. The dispute was resolved in my favor.

My question is about personal safety. The scammer theoretically has my name and return address from the transaction. They are also relatively close. I know these types of operations are typically bulk online fraud rings with no interest in physical retaliation, but I wanted to hear from people with experience in this space. Is there any realistic concern here, or is my anxiety overblown?

Do they just reread the WL apps or did they have some informal number applied to our files while initially reading? Also since we cant negotiate money and they tend to be stingy with the initial lob is it fair to assume we wouldnt be getting $$+ of the waitlist?

What clients are they expecting to reach? It's the only biglaw firm ad ive ever seen
